, This invention relates generally to shower bath nozzles, and hasparticular reference to an attachment therefor, the invention comprisinggenerally a circular member for ata tachment to the nozzle and havingassociated therewith a sliding drawer for thejreception of a cake ofsoap or plurality ofbath pellets or the like.

The circular member is of pan shape, the

no side wall of which is provided at its upper edge with means tofacilitate its attachment" to the rim of a conventional shower nozzle.The bottom wall of this member is provided with perforations as is alsothe bottom wall of the soap or bath pellets drawer; this being for thepurpose of permitting the water to pass through the drawer, the soap orpellets will be dissolved and the watercarrying the same to the bather.In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate correspondingpartsthroughout the'several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a side "elevation of an ordinary shower nozzle with which mydevice is associated, the said device being illustrated partially inside elevation and cross section; Figure 2 is a view partially in bottomplan, and partially in sect1on-v of my improved noz-v zle attachment,and I Y Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section of the attachmentatthe outer end of said .sliding drawer.

N ow having particular -reference to the drawing A, designates agenerally conven' tional shower nozzle, having the usual circular beadB, at its edge, the bottom wall of the nozzle being perforated asclearly disclosed in Figure 1. My attachment consists of a circular panshaped member 5, preferably of the same material as the nozzle, and ofa. diameter substantially the same as the nozzle. The bottom wall of themember is formed with perforations 6, as disclosed, to permit the waterto pass -therethrough.

Associated with the side wall of the member 5 at the upper edge thereofis a rubber ring 7, that extends beyond the upper edge of the side wall,and that is formed above the side wall to provide a circular channel 8for the reception of the bead-B of the nozzle,

A. i This provides a waterproof joint between i the nozzle and theattachment. The side wall of the member 5 is provided with acircumferentially extendingrslot 9,

to permit a small receptacle, referably in the form of a drawer anddesignated 10 to be moved into or out bf the member 5, and provided forthe reception of a cake of soa or a plurality of bath tabletsasdi'sclose in Figures 1 and 2: The bottom wall at least is providedwith perforations to permit the water'to pass therthrough, which willcar.- ry a certain amolint of the soap. or bath pelv lets with theresult that a soapy or perfumed liquid. will be projected on tothebather.

The outer end wall of the container is of greater length than the lengthof the slot 9, so as to prevent a movement of the container into thecircular member 5. Furthermore this wall is provided witha pull knob 11,and the side walls are slotted attheir forward ends 'as indicated inFigure 3. Riveted to the inner faces of these walls, at the inner "endsof the slots are leaf springs 12, which accidental outward movement ofthe rawer.

' In View. of the foregoing specification,

wherein, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, itwill be seen that I have provided a novel, simple, and inex-' pensiveshower bath nozzle attachment that will permit the water passingtherethrough to become soaped or perfumed, and even though I have hereinshown and describedthe invention as consisting of certain detail Istructural elements, it is nevertheless to be understood that somechanges may be made therein, without departing from the spirit and scopeof the appended claims.

Having thus described my. invention, what I claim' as new, andrdesire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

1. In a shower nozzle attachment, a panshaped member having an annularside wall and perforations in its bottom wall, means associated with theside wall of the member to facilitate its attachment to the rim oftheshower nozzle, and means normally located within the member for thereception of soap or bath pellets and constructed to permit 7 the waterto pass therethrough when leaving the nozzle, sald means consisting of adrawer' slidable through an opening in the side wall of the member andhaving openings in at least its bottom wall. 2. In a shower nozzleattachment a pan- 10 shaped member having an annular slde wall anderforations in its bottom wall, means associated with the side wall ofthe member to facilitate its attachment to the rim of the shower nozzle,means normally located within the member for the reception of soap orbath pellets and constructed to permit the water to ass therethroughwhen leavingth'e nozzle, said means consisting of a drawer slidablethrough an opening in the side wall of the member and having openings inat least its bottom wall, and means associated with the drawer toprevent accidental outward movement of the drawer with respect to themember. In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature.
